pbAndj--funny, everyone I have read or seen has mentioned both. They have given credit to the President Obama, President Bush, but most credit to the people who broke this intelligence and carried out the operation to eliminate Osama bin Laden.

Such is the poisonous culture liberals have created that right-wingers like myself can't congratulate the POTUS. Althouse can ask the big question - why has this happened. But she apparently has descended back into the warm clutches of leftism. Just like that.

So Obama gets re-elected. America descends straight to hell. Thanks Ann. I guess you learned nothing from the last few months witnessing the union thugs. No, all that really matters is your endless love of Obama.

I just went through that whole HuffPo thing. I owe quite a few R Congress folks an apology. A bunch of them mentioned BHO. Even so, the BHO-free statements (e.g. from Boehner) do seem contrived as they dodge mentioning the POTUS.

I give Obama credit on this one, not for the mission, but for the decision to do it without support from Pakistan (we will find out more facts on this later).

It sounds like Obama took the chance to do this mission without support from Pakistan. I think its pretty ballsy to go into another country and carry out a mission like this when you know the mission will be highly publicized if it works.

Will this help Obama at the polls. No. Obama has already showed he can be a warrior with his step-up in Afghanistan, and his invasion of Libya.

Where Obama needs help is with gas prices, the crap economy, and deficit spending.... the same stuff Bush I and Carter needed help with.

We drove Bin Laden underground and crippled his networks. In my mind he was dead years ago.

Yeah, perhaps I'm an emotional cripple, but I can't quite find the enthusiasm I'm seeing on both right and left today. The only thing I have is genuine surprise that he was still alive. I figured him to be a dark smear on an Afghan mountainside many years ago.

Does his death matter? Did he matter? We chopped off one head of the hydra. How many more heads left?

I learned of OBL's demise this morning purely from bloggers of the right-wing variety and every one congratulated Obama.

I'm very impressed. That was a hard operation to pull off with 25 men in 2 helos. It took guts to order that mission, I imagine it had 'destined for disaster' written all over it. I'd never have thought Obama had the stones to do this.

The burial at sea part, meh. Crab food is fine for OBL. No need for a shrine to that loon.

I honestly thought OBL was dead and had been dead for some years. The biggest surprise of all to me was that he was still sucking oxygen.

Cheney offered his appreciation to the Obama administration. “I also want to congratulate President Obama and the members of his national security team,” he said.

You know that had to go down like a bitter pill. Believe me when I tell you that ALL conservatives today are depressed as fuck. When OBL was killed, my first thought was - "so this ensure Obama's re-election". Not jubilation that the evil OBL was dead, just what it meant politically.

Not really, I felt quite happy. My joy was somewhat muted though considering that I had written off OBL as dead years ago.

I don't know about right wing bloggers, but right wing commenters here and on other blogs sure seem to be acting as if it is no big deal. I assume that's because it happened on Barry's watch, but it might be that they are just so used to being obsessed and depressed about the upcoming economic DOOM, they can't be happy about anything.
